India OSAT plant development

Overview

In early July 2026, CG Semi began commercial chip‑packaging operations at its Sanand OSAT facility in Gujarat, marking the first domestic commercial rollout of semiconductor assembly and test services. By the end of the month, the Indian government virtually inaugurated a second OSAT plant in Visakhapatnam, built by ASIP Technologies with South Korea’s APACT Co. under the India Semiconductor Mission. The Visakhapatnam facility, with an initial investment of over ₹460 crore and a planned total outlay of about ₹2.5 billion, will start with wire‑bond and flip‑chip BGA packaging and expand to advanced 2.5D and 3D packaging within a few years, targeting a capacity of roughly 96 million chips annually and creating over 1,000 skilled jobs. Together, these developments illustrate the rapid expansion of India’s semiconductor packaging ecosystem and the government’s broader push to strengthen domestic chip manufacturing across multiple states.
